A Closer Look at Olympia

Olympia is Washington’s capital, and it continues to grow. The U.S. Census Bureau counted 46,478 people here in 2010 and 55,605 in 2020. Its latest estimate, for July 2025, is 56,724. That growth keeps Olympia moving companies busy.

Housing here costs real money. The Census Bureau lists the median home value in Olympia at $486,200 and the median rent at $1,599 a month (2020 to 2024 estimates). Only 49.8 percent of homes are owner-occupied, so about half of Olympia households rent. Many families move between rentals, buy a first home, then move again. Having one moving company you trust for each move makes life easier.

People here do move often. The Census Bureau reports that 83 percent of residents lived in the same house a year earlier. That means about 1 in 6 lived somewhere else. Whether you are heading across town or across the country, A&E can help.

Olympia Moving Company FAQ

The cost depends on how many movers you need, how long the move takes and the company’s hourly rate. For moves of 55 miles or less, the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC) says rates are based on the number of workers, the time it takes and the mover’s hourly rate. Most of our local moves finish in a single day. A&E offers competitive hourly rates and never adds hidden fees. State law also requires movers to provide a free written estimate before the move, and we are happy to do an in-home or virtual estimate. Read more in the WUTC Consumer Guide to Moving.

Yes. We are licensed and insured under state and federal moving rules. Our numbers are WUTC HG-381, ICC MC-2934 and USDOT 125563. As a Mayflower Transit agent, we operate under Mayflower’s USDOT and ICC licenses for long-distance moves. We are also a member of the Washington Movers Conference. You can look up a mover’s permit on the WUTC website before you hire anyone.

Start with a company that holds a UTC permit, then compare reviews, references and costs. The WUTC suggests these steps in its Consumer Guide to Moving: look at customer reviews and complaints, ask people you trust for recommendations, and check the company’s references. Get more than one written estimate so you can compare. A&E is happy to be one of them. Our guide from the WUTC has the full checklist.

Yes. We offer short and long-term storage in our 98,000-square-foot warehouse in Lacey. We store your items in locked wooden vaults or on racks for large items like sofas and pianos. The warehouse is monitored 24/7, and we wrap, label, and inventory every item. This is not a self-storage facility, so please give us a little notice when you want to get to your things.

We offer both basic and full value protection, and we explain each option before your move. Basic protection comes at no extra cost, but it pays by weight, not by your items’ value. The WUTC lists basic value protection at $0.72 per pound for each lost or damaged item. Full value protection costs extra and covers the replacement value of your items. See the WUTC guide for how each option works.
